Profile:
He has a modest record in Indian cricket but Gogumal Kishenchand's
chief claim to fame in international cricket is that he is the bowler
off whom Don Bradman got the all important single to reach his 100th
first class hundred in 1947-48. With Bradman on 99, Lala Amarnath, as
a surprise tactic, brought on Kishenchand who had not yet bowled on
the tour. Bradman treated Kishenchand with utmost respect before
pushing him to mid on for a single to reach the landmark.
A diminutive right hander with a good defence, Kishenchand was
effective while driving and cutting. He toured Australia in 1947-48
but could achieve little against the powerful attack. His only
valuable contribution was a 44 on a difficult Sydney wicket in the
second Test, during which he added 70 runs for the seventh wicket with
Dattu Phadkar. He came back only for one Test against Pakistan at
Lucknow in 1952-53. One astonishing statistical aspect about
Kishenchand's record is that he had at least one duck in every one of
the five Tests he played. He also played six unofficial `Tests'
against the Australian Services team in 1945, the first Commonwealth
team in 1949-50 and the second Commonwealth team the following
season. He was a tower of strength to various teams in the Ranji
Trophy and over a career that lasted about three decades, he made 4216
runs (54.05) including ten centuries with a highest score of 181. For
the Hindus in just three seasons of the Pentangular tournament, early
in his career he scored 611 runs (101.83).
He was also an occasional leg break bowler. (Partab Ramchand)
